Standard Pricing Engine Assumptions
Unless otherwise disclosed, all quoted pricing assumes the following borrower, property, and loan qualifications:
Purpose of Pricing Assumptions
Our pricing engine provides estimated loan terms based on standard borrower and property qualifications. These assumptions allow us to generate pricing without requiring a full loan application, credit report, or supporting documentation upfront.
These are pricing assumptions, not minimum lending requirements. Borrowers who do not meet them may still qualify for financing through other investors or loan programs, potentially at different rates, fees, or terms.
If verified borrower or property information differs from these assumptions, the original pricing may change to reflect the loan programs and investors available for the actual circumstances.
When Pricing May Change
Quoted pricing may change when verified borrower, property, or loan information differs from the assumptions used to generate the original estimate, or when market conditions change before the interest rate is locked.
Such differences may affect eligibility with the originally selected investor, requiring an alternative loan program with different interest rates, fees, LTV limits, or other terms.
Pricing adjustments must be based on material differences in verified information, borrower-requested changes, applicable investor requirements, or market conditions—not arbitrary changes to our pricing.
Borrowers may still qualify for financing even when their circumstances differ from our standard pricing assumptions.

Investor Eligibility & Pricing Adjustments
These assumptions establish the baseline qualifications used by our pricing engine. Individual investors may impose different underwriting, credit, ownership seasoning, reserve, and property eligibility requirements.
Borrowers or properties that do not meet these assumptions may still qualify for financing through alternative investors or specialized loan programs.
Any verified deviation from these assumptions may affect investor eligibility, interest rates, lender fees, maximum LTV, reserve requirements, prepayment penalties, or other loan terms.
All quoted pricing is subject to verification, underwriting approval, investor guidelines, and prevailing market conditions.
